In The Garden

Adam

Play it safe Eve,

Follow the rules.

Eve, where are you going?

Lilith

Eve, he was always like that,

likes to be in charge,

forgets how much you do,

forgets you have needs, too.

Life is more than this garden, Eve.

Have you ever looked outside the gate,

have you ever wondered what is out there?

Eve, have you noticed the serpent?

Eve

Serpent?

Lilith  

Just here— I'll rest her in this tree branch

notice how she moves

her body hugs the tree.

Watch her move along the trunk

have you ever been touched like that Eve?

Eve... are you hungry?
